Tuppy

Office Dog

Our Qlaims office dog, tells us she never intended to go into insurance or even Insurtech. Upon leaving boarding kennels with a relatively good Kennel Club Certificate her first thoughts turned to farming, possibly some sheep work or even security. Like everyone else in the City, she kind of fell into insurance. She believes in the next few years you will see more and more insurance office dogs, there are no glass ceilings standing in their way. Dogs at Board level, CEO’s and even entering Lloyds’, who knows.
